If you take dough seriously, this is your spot.

At Adriano’s Pizzeria, we make artisan pizza using fresh ingredients imported from Italy.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Takes pride in consistency and cleanliness
• Wants to learn the craft, not just punch a clock
• Shows up organized and ready every shift
• Cares about the quality coming out of the oven

Duties

• Prepare and cook a variety of pizzas according to established recipes and customer specifications
• Ensure all ingredients are fresh, properly stored, and handled with food safety in mind
• Operate kitchen equipment safely and efficiently, including ovens, mixers, and knives
• Assist with menu planning by suggesting new pizza flavors and toppings based on customer preferences and trends
• Maintain cleanliness and organization of the kitchen area, adhering to health regulations
• Monitor food quality during preparation and presentation to ensure consistency and excellence
• Support the team during busy hours by assisting with food prep, plating, and serving as needed

Experience

• Previous experience working in a food industry setting, particularly in pizza or restaurant kitchens
• Strong culinary skills with knowledge of food handling, cooking techniques, and meal preparation

• Familiarity with fine dining or catering environments enhances your ability to deliver exceptional service
• Demonstrated knife skills and proficiency in food safety practices are essential
• Background in menu planning or food service management is advantageous
• Prior kitchen experience in the food industry or restaurant setting is highly valued

What You’ll Get:

• Starting pay of $15–$16/hr
• Early pay increases as you grow into the role
• Early close times — typically done by 8 or 9 PM
• A clean, organized kitchen where standards matter
• Hands-on experience with authentic Italian ingredients and equipment most pizza shops never get to use

What We Need From You:

• Reliable, consistent, and detail-oriented
• Able to lift 25–50 lbs
• Kitchen experience is a plus, but we will train the right person
• Someone who wants to grow with us, not just collect a paycheck

We’re not the chain down the street. We’re Adriano’s.
